Whipping out their “inner goddess,” for MTV, Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron gamely tackle a quick, impromptu reading of S&M saga Fifty Shades of Grey.

The E. L. James novel, which was born out of the fan fiction inspired by Twilight characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, has the women of Snow White & The Huntsman taking on the steamy passages and getting into the spirit of it. (Bonus points to Charlize for her extra gusto on some of the phrasing!)

Chris Hemsworth was adorable but not so willing to try out the “mommy porn” tome and laughed while pushing it away. “I’m not even touching that!” he told After Hours interviewer Josh Horowitz.

Sam Claflin got a bit flustered when he was asked what he liked about erotica.

But it was Stewart who had the best observation about where people read the book.

“I’ve seen people read this on airplanes. And I’m always like, ‘Ewww. Take that blanket off your lap you freak,’” Stewart says.

Charlize Theron was in Las Vegas on Thursday night to accept the Distinguished Decade Of Achievement In Film Award from CinemaCon.  She wore a shoulder-baring little black dress with illusion panels by Dion Lee, and looked pretty dang fab.

CinemaCon is an annual convention for operators and owners of movie theaters.  The organization explained why Theron was selected for the honor:

“Over the past decade, Charlize Theron has proven that as an actor, she can do it all. Whether her role be comedic or dramatic, she never ceases to entertain audiences with her unique ability to capture the essence of any character. Her thought-provoking, engaging and riveting performances have garnered her critical acclaim and multiple awards and nominations.”

In other words, people buy tickets to see her movies.  With two movies opening this June, there will be ample opportunities for theater owners to cash in on Theron’s success.  She plays the Queen in Snow White And The Huntsman, opening June 1.  She also appears in the science fiction flick Prometheus, opening June 8th.

Charlize Theron is a new mom!

The Young Adult actress has kept her parenthood aspirations under the radar (good for her!) and has adopted a son.

“Charlize Theron has adopted a child.  She is the proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson,” her rep confirmed to US Weekly.

No further details were released officially but a source close to the actress tells the magazine the child is from the US (other outlets are reporting the child is from her native South Africa) and is African-American.

The 36 year-old Oscar winning actress split from her long-time partner, Stuart Townsend, in 2010 but said she was still interested in becoming a mom.

“I want a baby. If it would happen tomorrow I would still be very happy about it,” she said to Germany’s In Touch magazine.

Stunning Charlize Theron stepped out to Variety’s Indie Impact Awards and 10 Directors to Watch Brunch, presented by Mercedes-Benz at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs Film Festival at the Parker Resort on Sunday afternoon.

The Young Adult star shined in the California sunlight wearing a bright apple green dress with black detailing from Reed Krakoff. The sleeveless frock had a sporty, tennis-dress kind of look to it without being too casual.

Theron, 36, joked about her three latest film roles (Young Adult, Prometheus and Snow White and The Huntsman) and that all her characters have quite an attitude.

“Somebody pointed out to me that I’m doing like three movies back to back that I play a bitch,” she said. “And I realized — you know, Picasso had his blue period. This may very well just be my bitch period. I’m OK with that.”

Charlize Theron wears a striking low-cut dress for the IFPs 21st Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

The Snow White and The Huntsman actress chose the black and white, sexy Gucci number which she accented with gold chains and an updo with a simple thin black headband for her hair.

Theron, 36, was the recipient of a career achievement award. Her Young Adult costar, Patton Oswalt presented the South African actress with the prize.

“This award is the equivalent of giving the Velvet Underground a Grammy after their first album because you know the five other albums that are coming down the road,” he said.

“This is giving Willa Cather a Pulitzer prize for ‘Alexander’s Bridge’ because you know that ‘Antonia’ and ‘O Pioneers!’ is on the way.”

Young Adult, costarring Oswalt, Theron, Elizabeth Reaser and Patrick Wilson, directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody is in theaters December 16th.

Fairy tales being retold are nothing new, but the new trailer for Snow White and The Huntsman is already distinguishing itself as a contender for what could be one of the best adaptations.

It’s still early and this is only the first of many peeks leading up to the summer 2012 release but Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are intriguing in their roles of Snow White, The Huntsman and the Evil Queen respectively.

With Theron’s rendition of the infamous line “Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who is fairest of them all?” the plan to find Snow White (Stewart) and kill the one who is fairer than the evil Queen, is set in motion.

Hemsworth’s Huntsman is recruited by the wicked monarch because he is “someone who does not fear the dark forest.”

Director Rupert Sanders visual style gives the once Disney-fied story a bleak and frightful edge for a modern audience.

Watch the trailer under and check out all the new character posters released by Universal Studios. It is slated to open on June 2, 2012.

Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth look determined and ready to do battle with evil Queen Charlize Theron in the new banner for Snow White and The Huntsman.

Stewart is centered, looking over her shoulder and holding a knife in the forest with the light is shining down on her.

Hemsworth is geared up for battle with an axe and shield, ready to fight.

Theron is shrouded in darkness with her birds of prey and she wields a pretty big knife as well.

The dark tone of this banner continues what the individual posters released during Comic-Con promised: this ain’t no Disney fairytale.

The film isn’t due until June 2012 so hopefully we get a lot more promo stuff around the holidays and after.

Charlize Theron is one of my absolute faves in Hollywood.  So when I found out that she’s found love again after her painful breakup with Stuart Townsend, I was thrilled.  She was with him for nine years, so moving on hasn’t been easy.

Charlize Theron Starring in ‘Mad Max 4′

Her new man is actor, Eric Thal.  He’s seemingly a really good guy.  He’d have to be to catch her eye.  One of his pals told L&S,

“The two have a lot in common.  He’s a farmer who grows all his own vegetables, and Charlize grew up on a farm in South Africa. The two like to escape Hollywood and go to his farm in upstate New York.”

Very, very cool  Charlize deserves all the happiness in the world and I hope Eric can give it to her.
